EVE is getting expensive. Datacores going up making T2 cost more. Minerals making t1 go up. Tech cartel making T2 go up. CCP's new mods being bpc drops making sure they cost alot more. Its funney they are making a war expansion but no one can afford to lose a ship. Should i continue to wait out the high prices or just play with ships i have to grind longer for?

Learn to scam.
Learn to pirate.
Learn to loot.
Learn to Explore.
Learn to Market.
Learn to remote buy.
Learn to place BUY orders not buy SELL orders.
Learn to wait.
Learn to be patient.
Learn to fly to different regions.


Eve is designed as a game for the BATTLE over SCARCE RESOURCES between FOUR PLAYER RACES.

So go BATTLE for those SCARCE RESOURCES.

or wait it out for them to come back down.

Or get into industry so you can profit off of it.

You could quit PvP'ing, that's what I did. I unachored all my nul PoS stuff and moved to high-sec, along with the 8 other members of my corp. In the 6 months I have been playing nearly all the ship hulls have doubled in price, I can't afford the losses that come with a healthy PvP life style any more. Admittedly high-sec is a lot less fun. My current plan is to buy a fleet with all my assets. When that fleet gets destroyed I am going to let my account lapse, if prices have not plummeted. Grinding for hours to afford a single ship is not fun. So hulkaggeddon has been successful at least one thing, getting 8 more people (plus alts) out of nul-sec and into high-sec.

Good.

This will combat game inflation.

Not everyone suppose to fly top tier ships.
Dont fly what you cant afford to lose.
CCP is going to rebalance smaller ships to make them usefull ( i suggest them to read this thread - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=105499&find=unread )

One Rifter is not all that dangerous, a pack of Rifters is a handful, a swarm of Rifters is downright deadly.

Rifter's I can deal with, Reapers / Ibis's are deadly.

Me and my 20 buddies are now more motivated to pvp since losses means more and we all subscribed extra account.

CCP end result +5 subscriptions.

Word 'inflation' is used in many more concepts than just economics.

For example space inflation( as inflation in cosmology )

Shut up faceless you don't know what you're talking about. You can't even figure out how to put on a face.

Game inflation, otherwise known as mudflation. Go google it.

When people lack logical arguments they start ad hominem attacks which only shows how clueless they are.

I didn't login for few months and upon returning found some ship prices inflated by as much as 60% (obelisk: 680m => 1100m). Game becomes less suitable for casual hi-sec players whos income isn't based on interactions with other players - i.e. missioners.

Either missions payouts and npc bounties will be adjusted (I doubt) - or more likely it's time for hi-sec missioners to consider switch to inflation-independent anti-social activities. Like scamming and piracy. Trading or manufacturing is too complicated for most while exploration in hi-sec doesn't provide steady income. And wh/low/null-sec is ... well, you know - it's not for casual players.

...and Dust is the new focus. EVE the expendible mule.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.
